Michael B. Jordan and Lupita Nyong’o strike a pose together while attending the Variety Screening Series of their hit film Black Panther held at Regal Union Square on Thursday (January 10) in New York City.

At the special screening, the 31-year-old actor and 35-year-old actress put their romance rumors to rest.

“No, we’re good friends, honestly, we’ve known each other a really long time and respect each other and I love this girl to death,” Michael expressed (via ET).

“It’s flattering at the end of the day,” Lupita added. “I think it’s such a rare thing to find people you have good chemistry with and too for us to find each other as actors and get to work together, it makes the work richer that we truly enjoy each other’s company on and off screen.”
